~'~..: ~---- VOVEAT-CARDEN iliEATii E. . . . , The hopes of Confirmed tranquility, which the pacific appea'rance of affairs excited last week, Seem to have anished, for the disturbances at this Theatre last night were nearly as violent as ever, with the exception of the nisi ruthents which were fOrmerly wielded with so much dexterity and perseverance. The Theatre was last night well attended from the commencement of the performances, but the second at of The Exile had proceeded but a little., When the usual tempest burst forth, and raged, with slight in termissions, the conclusion of the play. There as a pacific pause from this period till the farce of h Porbait 91 . Cervantes began, and that was corn- P''''tely a pantomime throughout. The opposition was not chiefly confined to the Pit, as heretofore, but appeared•in various parts of the Theatre, and the friends of the P/oprietors seemed but few, and made very faint efforts to subdue the storm. No' inscriptions were held forth, but almost every species of vocal annoyance prevail d, and the most deter mined spirit of resistance to the new prices was ma nifested during the whole night. Several persons appeared with O. P. (Old Prices) on their hats, and one was taken into custody, who, it appeared, was Mr. CLIFFORD, the Barrister, and who, it is said, declared, that he assumed that ensign of opposition in order to try the question whether it..4as an of fence against the law. Towards the conclusion of the pily the opponents of tho Managers roared " Gtxl save the King," and a part .. " Rule Britannia," ar.,l were certainly more in tune than on farmer occasions, though not more advanCed towards harmony with the Pro prietors. On the final dropping of the curtain the opposi- tion ~ 's a ve three resolute cheers, as usual, for ti,em selves, and three groans for the - Proprietors, and then quietly lett the Theatre. _ It is twt justice to the party who are so perse vering in their 0, pry,it ion to Ll,e new regulations of the Theatre, to state, tom they no longer seem dis posed to do any injury to the beautiful edifice itself, but dire& all efforts against those regulations, and there seems at present to be little hope that they will be induced to abandon their enterprize. Yesterday at two o'clock, a C.ib►net Council was field at the Foreign Office, which did not break up till past five, at which were present the following Members :--The LORD CHANCELLOR, Earls BA THURST, LrvExpooL CAMDEN, and CHATHAM ; Lord MULGRAVE, and the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CIIEO.UEII. We understand that an order was sent down, on Saturday, to the Sussex district, for every regiment, except the 18th Light-horse, to hold itself in readi ness for embarkation. It is from thence inferred, that Government intend to reinforce our army in Portugal. A Court of Aldermen was held yesterday at Guild hall, at which the Assize of Bread was ordered to be continued at Is. 4id. the Quartern Loaf. Upwards of 523-0 ounces of foreign gold were produced in the Court, and sworn off, previous to exportation. Andrew Leway de Haes surrendered the office of she of the Twelve Jew Brokers, and Darnel Mo tatta was admitted in-his room. Several other persons were allowcd, and sworn trokers.— , The Chamberlain presented an account of • the surplus of the produce of the Orphans' Fand for the half )ear ending the bth of October, and the sum of 9,7001. stock was drawn out of the wheel, and annihilated; and the Chamberlain directed to give six months notice to the- several parties who were interested, to receive the same. The Lord Mayor laid befor e the Court a letter he had received from John Prinsep, Esq. requesting to surrender his Gown as Alderman of the Ward of Lime-street ; which being read, the resignation was accepted, and his Lordship requested to issue his pre cept for a Wardmote to be holden for the eleaion of an Alderman in his room. This day the Address of Congratulation to the Xing, on his entering into the fiftieth yeat of his Teeign,. was presented at St. James's by the whole Corporation. The Lord Mayor Elea will be presented to the Lord Chancellor to-morrow, according to ancient usage. A Coart of Common Council will be held on Friday, for the-dispatch of public business. The strength of the Prussian army, according to the most accurate estimates, amounts to 80,000 men, of which 60,000 are infantry, and 20,000 cavalry. This is considered a very large force for the Prussian r o narchy, reduced, cut down, and oppressed as it th as been since the Peace of Tilsit; the quality of kind ma ps is also very respeaable. A force of this in " u laY, in particular circumstances, enable Prus -4a ;till to aet an important part, and accordingly it has not failed to excite the jealousy of the Buona partes. A particular account of it, specifying the slumb e r and etfte_ive strength of the several regi ments, was, we understand, lately sent to Jerome, King of Westphalia, by his Amhassador at the Prus sian Court, and forwarded by him to Buonaparte, at the time when the issue of the war with Austria was rendered doubtful by the repulse of the French at Aspera, and when some publications favourable to Austria, in the Berlin Gazelle, gave room to sus- Pea that the Court of Prussia was inclined to sup- Port that Power. It is not improbable that Boom- Parte will now take an early oppottunity of iutimat to the King of Prussia, that it is not agreeable to k " 1 Pt that i so huge a military establishment should be uP n the Prussian States. T .The Gazette of last night contains Addresses from Isle pool' Portsmouth and Portsea, Newport, in the of Wight, Birmingham, and the' Provincial bynod of Merse and Teviotdate. On the 15th ult. a shepherd's dog, which had se veral symptoms of being mad, made its appearance In South -street, Perth. It ran towards the bridge, attacking and biting every .dog that came in its way. Being closely pursued, it luckily entered the bar racks, where it was killed by a soldier. Although the streets were crowded at the time with people go ing to church, no person received any injury from the animal. The Magistrates and Sheriff of Perth have issued orders that all dogs, within the four pa rishes of Perth, shall be connned for a mouth from this date. 4)oEThfr. EPIGRAM.

E. T. M. B. bUISLIN, OCT.-28. The Jubilee was celebrated on Wednesday last in this city with a spirit of loyalty and patriotism in the highest degree honourable to the feelings of the inhabitants. The dinner at the Rotunda was magnificent. The tables were laid out parallel to each other, across the great circular room, at the head of that which passed through the and opposite to the Transparency, the Lord Mayor presided ; on his right hand was his Grace the Lord Lieutenant ; on hts left, Mr. Secretary Pole, and at the toot was Mr. Sheriffßiddall. His Grace the Lord Lieutenant and his Suite, with the several heads of the Church, the Law, Army and Navy, the Recorder, and all the chief charataers in the city of Dublin, were present. The entertainment was enlivened by a number of songs written for the occasion. Sir John Ferns contributed by soine of his most admirable Irish songs to the general pleasure ; and it was nearly six o'clock on Thursday morning before the com pany separated. The toasts, in which, of course, the King took the lead, wete all drank with enthusiasm. On Lord Wellib,2ton's health being drank, Mr. POLE nose, and, in a manly and impressive manner, delivered a short speech nearly in these words : " GENTLEMEN, " I trust you %yin forgive my saying a few words, in consequence of the honour you have done my Noble Relative this night by drinking his health — Lord Wellington's heart is Irish, and the greatest wish of his life has been to study the interest of his native country in general, and the city of Dublin in particular—to be thus publicly noticed by your Corporation, ' therefore, is one of the greatest ho nours which could be conferred on him by his coun- trymen. " I will not fail, Gentlemen, .to acquaint him with this circumstance, which must be so truly gra tifying, (particularly on this joyful occasion, when you meet to celebrate the long reign of the best of Kings. " The honours lately conferred on . my Noble re lative by his Majesty, I hope you will have reason every day to find are not misplaced ;—believe me, the great objet of myself and family shall be to deserve a continuance of that great confidence and honour which he has been pleased to bestow upon us. This speech was received with every mark of respeet and „regard, and followed by the loudest applause. The LORD MAYOR gave " Mr. Gifford," who proposed this celebration. On which the latter Gentleman expressed himself as follows, and re ceived the warmest applause :—" I give you, my Lord, sincere thanks for this high honour: I am happy in the occasion—the lengthened reign of our beloved and honoured King—which gave rise to the idea of this celebration. I am happy that idea should have arisen with me; and I am beyond measure gratified at seeing this great and illustrious Assembly satisfied at the manner in which our fes tivities are condueted." At about half-past three o'clock, his Grace the Lord Lieutenant, who appeared highly delighted with the happiness manifested in every countenance, gave as a toast, " the Lord Mayor's health," which was drank with three times three. His Lordship then gave his Grace's health, which was received with rapturous expressions of pleasure, and drank in the same manner. His Grace was pleased to notice this attention in the kindest manner, and having in a short speech thanked his Lordship and the assembled company, departed to his carriage. Upon the whol, we have never known an en tertainment more splendidly conducted ; and it is dif ficult to say, whether the Lord Licutenant appeared more delighted by this proof of loyalty, or the Guests more gratihed by the affability and condescension of his Grace. The poor Debtors in the several prisons also had their Jubilee dinner : Mr. Sheriff STANLEY, with an activity in the cause of benevolence worthy of our highest approbation, undertook the management of this part of the festivity, and by the application of comparatively a small sum from the general fund, made many a poor person happy for the day. Trinity College also distinguished itself on this joyous occasion. The Students recited Latin com positions in prose and verse, in honour of the day, and which received the warmest approbation. The Castle was splendidly illuminated; as was the Royal Exchange, the Head Police Office, Nelson's the Bank, the Post Office, the University, and, indeed, every part of the City demonstrated a zealous desire to testify the highest affe6tion for our venerable Monarch, and we may confidently say, that in no part of the British Empire was the tri umph of loyalty More evident than in the capital of • Ireland. EDINDURGH.—The Brethren in the different Lodges in this city and neighbourhood proceeded to Leith, attended by several military .bands. Between nine and ten o'clock the whole body, intended to walk in procession to lay the foundation of King George M.'s bastion, on the north-‘vest.angle of the present wet-dock, proceeded in solemn procession from the Assembly Rooms and Naval Yard, along Bernard -street, across the new Dratvbridge and Com munication Bridge, along the north wall of the dock, to the place where the foundation stone was to be laid. The Earl of Moira walked as Grand Master, and was supported by the Earl of Buchan as Past Grand Master, and the Earl of Rosslyn, Deputy Grand Master. When the procession arrived at the spot, two large phials were placed in the stone, one of which . . • • . l eontailled an althanack 'of the present year, and 'copies of all the Edinburgh newspapers 5 the other contained all the present 'Current 'coins of his ni jesty's reign, which were previously inclosed in chrystal ; and above the phials were placed two plates, with the following inscriptions : To the best of Kings, the Father of his Country, Pious, mild, beneficent ; by his great private as well as public virtues, always endeared to his people, in prosperity the ornament, in dangers and difficulties the safeguard of the British Empire; to, George just entering the fiftieth year of his reign, which GOD prolong, the Citizens of Edinburgh, in the second year of the Provostship of 'William Coul ter, Esq. rejoicing with' thanksgiving, erected this Monumeut, 25th of October, 1809.—0 n the reverse side was engraved a list of the present Town Coun cil. MASONIC PLATE.—On the 25th day of OEtober, in the year of our Lord 1809, and of Masonry 5809, the Right Hon. the Earl of Moira, Past ACting Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Scotland, in the ab senCe of the Hon. William Manic, of Panmure, M. P. ACling Grand Master, laid the first stone of this Bastion, for the security of the extended com merce of the Port of Leith ; the day on which His Majesty King George the Third entered into the 50th year of his reign, being chosen for the foun dation of a strueture which is to bear his Royal name ; that a work of public utility, founded amidst the universal thanksgivings of a happy and grateful land, might commemorate, as the most suit able memortal, the accession of a Prince, to whom at all times the most acceptable homage is that Which marks the increasing prosperity of his people. On the reverse, a list of the present office-bearers of the Grand Lodge of Scotland was engraved. The ceremony commenced with an anthem by the singer, after which the Rev. Dr. Johnstone, aeling as Grand Chaplain, pronounced a most excellent prayer. The Grand Master then proceeded, with the other office bearers, to lay the stone, which was done by apply ing the masonic trowels to the different parts of it, and, having given three knocks with the mallet, the brethren gave three cheers.—The ceremony con cluded with a salute 01.50 guns, from thirteen 18- pounders, placed on the west wall of the Dock, and fired by seamen. The procession was guarded by the Prince of Wales's regiment of Loyal Edinburgh Volunteers, and a detachment of militia from the Castle. And notwithstanding the immense crowd of spectators which were present, and some of them in very pe rilous situations, no, accident happened during the ceremony. The ships in the harbour and dock were beautifully decorated with flags and colours, and the iEgeria sloop of war, lying in the east end of the dock, manned their yards, and saluted the procession as it passed. At twelve o'clock the Castle guns fired in honour of the day. The troops in garrison were also drawn up on the Castle-hill, attended by the Commander in Chief and his Staff, and fired three rounds. The Jubilee was celebrated with great hospitality by Vi,count Lake, at his seat at Ashton Clinton, Bucks. An ox was roasted whole, and distributed, with plenty of beer, to the poor. His Lordship likewise gave a most liberal entertainment to his tenants, and to the neighbouring farmers, and an elegant dinner and ball to his family and friends.— Thus every individual in the parish were most plen tifully regaled on this happy occasion. At no place was the Jubilee celebrated with greater splendour than at Sheffield. Freemason and other processions took place, and the utmost joy, festivity, and loyalty prevailed throughout the day. At Hull, the day was celebrated with evert de monstration of British Loyalty ; by rejoicings, royal salutes, thanksgivings, &c. &c. and by a collection to regale the poor of nearly SOUL - The Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury stand par ticularly distinguished. Upwards of 2000 persons (including all the poor of 1 t parishes, in the netgh bourhood of his Lordship's seat, at St. Giles's) were supplied, at his Lordship's expense, with beef and bread, i❑ the proportion of two pounds of beef, and a pound and a half of bread to_ each indi vidual. Besides this, his Lordship sent liberal donations in money to several other parishes, in aid of subscriptions, to be employed for the same pur pose. , Ad - vices from Hamburgh of so late a date - as the 20th ult. were received yesterday. They state that a desperate battle has been fought between the Rus sian and Turkish armies, consisting of about 30,000 each, in which the latter were completely viaori ous ; but no particulars are.mentioned. It is added that ISNIAEL continued to hold out on the 27th of September. \Vith respect to the affairs of Germany, the fol lowing communication has been received through the same conveyance : EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED HAMBURGH, OCT. 20. " All the accounts received concur in the account . that Peace has been/concluded, and that it took place on the ibth.—We have seen a Gentleman who left Vienna on the 1 1 th inst. and the signature was then every day expected. Severa. Austrian regiments have been disbanded, and it is said, that, on account of the treaty, the forces of FRANCIS are to be re duced as low as 30,000 men. As to the particulars ) very little is known ; but the Austrian empire is almost annihilated, and the spirit of the bravest na tion in the world has been broken. At home all is yet well, and the oppressions by suffering aresevere, yet by habit we learn to bear their burthen with greater ease to ourselves. A new levy of money is talked of, and it is not improbable. " The brave undaunted Tyrolese are as alive as ever, and we are day after day told of their glorious achievements under the command of the gallant and intrepid HOPER. It is, however, a melancholy re flection that all these glorious etibrts will be useless, and that they must shortly submit to the Gallic yoke, which will prove the more grievous in pro- portion to their heroic exertions in the cause of liberty." The following dreadful accident occurred oh Sa turday evening : as Mr. S. Starey, of Croydon, Was returning from town with one of his sons in a chaise, the horse took fright, owing .to a girl's rdnning out of a cottage with a sheet of white paper streaming in her hand just betore him ; in endeavouring to stop him the reins broke, when the son leaped 'out and sustained but little injury; but Mr. Starey in doing the same fell . on his head, -and received so se , vere a contusion, that he only survived about three hours. i3UONAPA'RiI'E and his BROTHER The Man whole iron sceptre- now weighs dOwn the energies of the Continent, and whoie will is become the arbitrary law of nation, possesSed the same inflexibility of temper in the, more Confined sphere of a&ion in which fortnne had placed him 'at the beginning of bis political career; it never was known to relent even in behalf of hiS nearest tives. A severe obServer of discipline himself, he required an equally said Observation of it in others, as the tbllowing anecdote, for the veracity of which we can vouch, will proVe: . . At his return from Egypt, and Whilst revolving in his mind the best means of usurping th sovereign authority, Napoleon inhabited the palace of the Luxemburg, as he apprehended lest his sudden re moval to the Thuilleries should reveal the secret of his ambition, before he had insured its triumph. His nights were almost entirely dedicated to contere'Uee , ; with his adherents, in which his plans were matured and their execution prepared. One of his Aidei-de,:- Camp was every day obliged to watch in the an ti-chamber ' leading to the council-room, to pre.- vent 'the intrusion of strangers or spies, who should have been able to pass through the eater-. nal guards. His brother Louis, the preSetit King of Holland, occupied then no other rank than that of Aide-de camp to Napoleon; and one evening, op preSsed with fatigue, tell asleep whilst watching in the anti-chamber. The'decisive moment was nearly corne, cad the conferences had assumed a greater deL gree of importance than before, when Louis's cAreless ness endangered not only the success, but theexistenee of his brother. Two strangers, or spies, 'under the pretence of having material information to comMoni eate to General Buonapaite, had succeeded in pene trating as far as the antichamber, where, finding the last Argus asleep, they unexpeaedly burst into the council-room. Napoleon dissimulated his fears ; and. after listening to the pretended intelligence they had to convey, politely ordered them to be turned out of doors, and escorted by a , guard to their houses, where their real condition was ascertain ed. He then commanded his sleeping brother to be brought before him, reproached him severly with his breach of military duty, and put him un der close arrest fo*r a mouth in his own apart ment. Louis then occupied a second floor in the due de Vaugerard, and, as long as the day lasted, remained in patient confinement, but Ire:. quently stole out disguised in the dt,isk of the even ing, laughing at his brother's severity, although he trembled at his power. He was however soon dis covered, and, confined more' closely ; and when li berated, was not a little astonished at finding hiS brother seated on the throne of France.„ under the title of First Consul, after a bloodless revolution, and himself raised to the rank of Colonel of a regiment of dragoons. Yesterday evening an Inquisition was taken at the Bull and Mouth Inn, Bull and M‘uth-streei; on the body of the Rev. Mr. GLASSE, Retaor of Hanweil, who was found suspended from a bed=post in that house. It appeared in evidence that the deceased came to the Inn on Monday evening, - and took a place in one of.the Northern stages. He went to bed at 'an early hour, and when the chambermaid went to call him at half past four, she discovered-bim hangs ing troM the bed-post -; she immediately gave the alarm, and one of the hostlers came to her assistance, and cut down the body. The suspension was et fetied by a towel, and the pocket-handkerchief of the deceased. A Surgeon was called in ; but there was no room for the application of his skill, as the body was then nearly cold, and he was of opinion that the death had taken place some hours. The Solicitor of the deceased proved that he had meeting with him on Monday morning; at the house of a Gentleman in Lower Grosvenor -street, on pro fessional business ; that Mr. Glasse, in the Course of their conversation, was extremely agitated; that he manifested strong symptoms of insanity. Some other friends of the deceased who wete also present consi•:- dered him almost in a state of mental derangement, and requested that the Solicitor would not lose sight of him until he became calm and colle6ted. He, in conse quence, accompanied him to the inn, and having rea son to suppose that his agitation had subsided, he tool: leave of him. Upon his arrival at his chambers, he found some letters relating to the affairs of the deceased, the contents of which he returned to communicate to him. He again saw the deceased, who had then gone to bed, and recommended that he should sus pend his purposed journey to Scotland: This pro posal threw the deceaSed into great agitation avairi, and he persisted in his intention, notwithstanding the advice of his Solicitor to the contrary. This gentleman instanced some unequivocal ptools of in;-, sanity on the part of the deteased. A gentleman residing in Craven-street; corrobo rated the evidence as to the manifest insanity of the deceased.: The Waiter at the inn also proved that Mr. G. appeared so extremely agitated while he was takin g some supper, that he remarked to some of his tfel low-servants, that he must be stark mad. The JUry, which was of the most respetlable de scription, without hesitation, brought in ,'the folloW ing verdiet ctrangling hiniself in a fit of insanity. A farthe s t . of Stafford, of the old English school, who had been sacrificing to the jdlly god on die e:tith was refused being let through the turnpike -gate at half past eleven at night, withotit paying. He there fore rode back to Stafford; 'drank another bottle ; sat till half after twelve, and then rode off, datermiheci in his own mind that he would not pay the penny till it was due.
